Divine Appointment 3/13/2021

This Saturday evening the Lord placed our team is just the right spot to preach the Gospel to approximately 200 teenagers.  As we set up in one of our usual spots in front of the Town Center Mall, many groups of teens mingled, in and out of the mall, as they chatted and took selfies. It was clear that they were all there together for some kind of event.

The group was rather well behaved, yet disinterested in these strange people who kept talking about Jesus. The purpose of the event was a meet-up between fans and "influencers" from the local social media culture. Every generation seems to have it's own distracting influences.

Several young people were accompanied by their parents. Yay, Parents! - who care enough to shepherd their teen kids by coming to such a "meetup."

We were ecstatic to be blessed with such an opportunity to serve the Lord, by bringing the gospel to these young ears.


At times we were a bit intimidated by the crowd, but the Lord kept us on track to deliver the message of hope and redemption from sin by the precious blood of the savior, shed for all who would believe.



On the box, or one to one, the gospel goes forth as it has since the early church.




One of these teens was the daughter of our friend Margarit who visits sometimes to encourage us. She also heard the gospel.




Please pray for all these young souls who navigate through our sin cursed world with very little, if any, exposure to the truth of God.

He is Faithful 2/27/2021

The Day of the Lord



But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 

For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 

You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 

Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 





For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 

But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 



For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.



Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. (1 Thess. 5:1-10, 23-24 NKJV)
